For this project, you will create an interactive experience for customers by developing a mobile application for a local business.
Many local businesses would love to have an interactive experience for their customers, but do not have the funding necessary to develop a mobile application. That's where you come in! Utilizing WIX, you can build a website for a local business that will also run on a mobile device.
Read through the list of businesses below. Choose one with whom you would like to work. Read through the list of needs/wants for that business very carefully. You need to make sure that you build a site that works for them--that meets their expectations.
You will have one week to build the site. Your login information will be turned over to the business owner so that they can monitor your progress. The business owners will judge and pick the best site(s), so make sure you do your best!
